WARSAW, Mo. (AP) – A Missouri woman has been charged in the shooting death of a man during a reported scuffle over a 12-gauge shotgun.

Sixty-three-year-old Patrica Garvey is jailed on $200,000 bond after she was charged Wednesday with involuntary manslaughter and armed criminal action in the death of 37-year-old Jason Swanson. No attorney is listed for her in online court records.

The Benton County Sheriff’s Office said in a Facebook post that Garvey had called 911, saying Swanson had been shot in his upper torso. She said shotgun went off during the scuffle.
